... Holy book, To St. Luke the second chapter, Where we both took a look! There unfolding before us, Was the blessed Christmas story, About angels singing to the shepherds," To God be the glory ,"" Peace on earth ,"" And to all men goodwill !" Their voices graced the night, Which was peaceful and still! When Daddy read, About Christ s birthplace, I could almost smell the hay, And see Mary and Joseph hover ... Over the place where Jesus lay! In my mind s eye, I could see the wisemen, Their precious gifts bring. They had traveled from afar, To see the Heavenly King! Then, in St. Luke chapter twenty three, Daddy read how Jesus died, That whosoever will, Could be cleansed, Neath the crimson tide! This story was so touching. It caused the teardrops to start. So I cried," Oh, Daddy ,"" ...

Till, ringing, singing on its way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound The Carols drowned Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And in despair I bowed my head;" There is no peace on earth ," I said;" For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men !" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:" God is not dead; ...

Our Holy God reminds us, Work Six days every week, On the seventh day we shall rest, And listen for Him to speak. When we follow His commandments And take time to hear His Word, We refresh our mind and spirit Our lives to undergird. We need to seek Him often, In a quiet place, And chat with Him like family, To find His cherished grace. He wants to hear our voices, Say," I love and trust you, Father God. Thank Him for His love and mercy, And smile instead of sob. He gets enormous pleasure, From our sincere prayer, When we treat like a real Father, He goes with us everywhere. Peace of mind is His gift, To carry us through a cloudy day, Spend ...

Help me Lord to thee confess, All my faults and weaknesses. All my worries, all my fears, They are Satan s wicked snares. Help me nevermore complain, For doing so has been in vain. Help me never ever blame, Other people for my pain. Convict my heart of any sin, That I must confess to man. Satan then will truly flee, And my soul shall be set free. May I grow in grace divine, Make me whole and only thine. May I be graffed into the vine, Of my Savior, so sublime. May I in true meekness be, An example for others to see. May this true joy never cease, May I grow in Thy true peace. May thy ...

Then clouds of doubt began to form, The wind did stir and blow; My tranquil sea did heave and toss, I felt my anguish grow. I cried," Dear Lord, are you out there? You see my ship storm-tossed? Why do you leave me here alone? I fear I may be lost" God smiled and spoke these simple words," Peace my child, just be still; I'm the God of the raging sea, The waves obey my will"" Hook your anchor onto 'The Rock ' That holds your vessel sure. No evil can alarm you child, I'll keep your life secure"" No harm will touch you if you trust And place your faith in me; Your storm-tossed ship will once again Sail on a tranquil sea ...

... The Visit God paid me a visit today, He brought peace and contentment too; He said," If you want to feel whole, Here is all that you have to do." Eternity awaits my fold, My prophets drew a map for you; Simple directions you can take, Heaven is easy to get to." Help all find my beloved Son, He has with Him my Book of Life; If their name's already in it, They'll be freed from worry and strife." Get that old Bible off your shelf, And wipe all that dust off of it; You'll find the trail well marked in there, The way is easy and so well lit." The life you are living right now, I'd intended to last through time; But your ancestors blew the deal, They thought their plan better than mine. Now you, my child, have found the truth, You did things your way for ...
... Peaceful Slumber Listen! How sweetly sings the breeze, merrily off trees, whispering wonderment, the ear quietly it does please, nurturing souls, drifting to Celestial splendor, beauty unfolds, as into peaceful slumber, coils surrender. Castles in the sky, growing columns of inspired aspiration, silver shadows flowing through all generations, warm cocoons of mortality, linked by silken threads, webs of lives where comfort embeds. Serenely rests the head of time, pillows puff by wisps of the sublime, mellow moments spark a fusion sphere, perfumed gardens alight, dancing nymphs are near. Oh mindful forest flower, rivers many bridges cross, branches leaved with neurons, invisible flakes of frost, tender is the night, spirits lovingly caress, sleep well my children, aware God will bless.

... Peace In His Presence In this world of uncertainty, Where tomorrow may never be, We have a hope that we can cling to, That we find only, Lord, in Thee. With You we need not fear, No worries to consume our minds, For each moment lies in Your hands, With You peace is what we'll find. We may lose our worldly possessions, Relationships may come and go, But Your presence is ever abiding, Your blessings will always flow.

... feared the country would fall. In those next few shocking hours, Americans fell to their knees and when the fire and smoke cleared, they took to the air and the seas. United in their righteousness, and sworn to right a wrong, our people pulled together and by acting as one, they were strong. With grit and determination and prayers throughout the land, the enemy was defeated because Americans took a stand. And for a while, we were at peace and soldiers rested well, even as they stood on guard, they knew that war was hell.

39. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- My Dream. [Poems]
... My Dream I dreamed of a fantastic place of beauty; A place of perfect peace to the soul, A place of everlasting joyful life, A place of forever safe and whole. I looked to the sky rubbing my eyes; A singing band of angels flew by. Flapping their wings, in loves whisperings;" Holy, Holy, Holy ", they cried. I looked down at a street of pure gold; Reflecting this beautiful place. So crystal clear, I drew very near; Beholding the smile on my face. In shock I saw a radiant river; Gently flowing from a great thrown. Under its waters, flowers were blooming; Dazzling colors yet to be known. Shining angels in white opened a vile; Out came sweet incense and praise. Out came men's cries, like stars in the skies. With mouth opened, I stood so amazed. I beheld a great rainbow, a beaming; Surrounding the thrown of ...

May I soar skies above Til I find me a wilderness cove. .For then I'll find peace, .And my sorrows will cease. There I'll stay hidden out in a grove. Though the battle is long, And the enemy strong, I know that to God I belong. .Morning, noontime, and night, .In the midst of the fight, I will call to my Lord with a song. God is always close by. He will not let me die. He is listening for my desperate cry. .I will trust in the Lord. .His PEACE my ...
... been utterly confused not knowing which way to go, Then suddenly the choice becomes so clear, you wonder how you didn't know? Has there ever arisen a crisis, leaving you anxious with an unresolved need; Only to have things suddenly go into reverse and from the crisis you're freed? Not only does God speak to us in His still small voice, He actively moves to accomplish His will; giving us reason to rejoice. That soft calm voice has given me peace, each time I've been overwhelmed by fear. When I listen closely, He always speaks the exact words I need to hear.

My joy has been restored And my heart filled with peace. Out of His great love, The Lord delivered me. The feelings of hopelessness, Sadness and despair All have been removed By the answer of a prayer. The Lord restored my hope And gave me happiness again.

If God sent no winter to freeze me with fear, would I yearn for the warmth of spring every year?

... The Kind Stranger It was a stormy day, From so deep within. My troubles were overwhelming, my life was in a spin. No matter what I said, or did, It never turned out right. My heart was broken into pieces, peace for me had taken flight. And then I met a Stranger, with such love in His eyes. He listened to my worries, and then my life He energized.

... The Laugh Of Faith The laugh of faith is: victory while yet in the midst of the storm, while battles grow fierce, and sharp arrows pierce, attempting much spiritual harm. The laugh of faith is: joy during times of suffering and loss; it is knowing the Savior looks only with favor, as you struggle, yet carry your cross. The laugh of faith is: peace when the waves flow o'er the boat, and demons of hell prevent you to bail, and you know for a fact you can't float. The laugh of faith is: love when unlovely people assail, when, through no fault of your own, you stand alone, and companions forsake you to fail. The laugh of faith is: long suffering when the trials seem never to end; you are at the end of your rope with no reason to hope, forsaken by even your friends. The laugh of faith is: gentleness with those ...

... The Little Angel There was a little angel, On a cloud in heaven above; Who spent the ages peacefully dreaming, Of God's eternal love. She thought of her heavenly palace, With walls of glitter and pearls; She thought of all God's creation, The harmony of the worlds. She thought of all creation, So perfect and divine; She thought of joyful pleasures, And her Father's love so kind. She thought of heavenly music, The strains she loved to hear; She thought of God's son Jesus, Whose love she held so dear. She thought of time eternal, Passing ages in endless stream; In a place of joy and beauty, Beyond man's wildest dreams. And she thought of those still living, Awaiting the joyous day; To be taken into Heaven, And all things earthly pass away. What's this? A trumpet sounds? Has the day of judgement come? No one except the Father, Knew the ...
... Sometimes Life Hurts Life is not a bed of roses joy and sorrow fills each day. Sometimes the sky is blue other times it may be gray. Trials are inevitable and we all experience pain. Dark clouds hang over our heads and sunshine is replaced by rain. Trouble interrupts our lives and sickness comes sometimes. There are deep valleys to tread and rugged hills to climb. We each face disappointments and death snatches our loved ones. Our peace is disturbed by disasters and we have nowhere to turn. Many tears of sorrow we shed and sometimes we ask why? Even when we do our best our dreams fade and die. Sometimes life hurts badly but we press on anyway. It is our faith that substains us and our hope for a brighter day.~Lenora McWhorter~Copyright 2011 All Rights Reserved [by: Lenora McWhorter, Copyright 2011 (mslenora @att.net)-submitted by: Lenora McWhorter] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights ...

So peaceful now at this late hour nothing seems to stir, And quietly within himself he starts to think of her. The happy moments they once shared so much in love were they, And never in a million years thought it would end that way. Life has a way of tossing you somethings you don't expect, And then you spend a lifetime thinking back as you reflect.

... Contentment Contentment is: My old black cat, sprawled across my bed. When I went in to make it up and left her there instead. Or my Grandmother, sitting in her rocking chair, looking through the window, At the roses blooming there. Or, the little girl next door, Humming a sweetlullaby. Hugging her baby doll, so he wouldn't cry. Contentment is peace of mind, That worry can't contain. It's trusting in God Almighty, That can never be in vain. It's the natural beauty, Of Nature's changing face. Heavenly clouds like angel wings, Drifting in the skies blue space. In all the hurry and the hustle, Of humans racing against time. Contentment can some-times be found, in something as simple as this rhyme. Knowing who leads across deep valleys, To Eternity on high. Brings the greatest serenity, Our yearning hearts to occupy.

Then one-by-one, the stars pop out til there are far too many to count, and as I sit, I'm mesmerized by the glorious sight before my eyes.

He gives me courage to face each day and gently guides me on my way, and when night falls, I find sweet rest cradled in his gentleness.

Clouds as black as night, Their demon throngs release; Doomed I seem to be 'ere this storm should ever cease. I seek a place of sheltered rest In God's true and living Word; Balm to quiet my spirit As rumbling threats are heard. Then suddenly the Son shines through, Bestowing quiet and peace; He makes the avalanche seem small, My shelter lined with fleece. I see the brilliant rainbow, Reflection of His tender care; And know that throughout the storm He was standing, guarding there. Then I knew the raging storm Was stirred up just for me; To teach me faith and patience As I walk o'er the troubled sea.

... A Soldier's Call To Arms All night long, the battle raged til dawn broke in the east. Then all at once the sounds of war would taper off and cease. The soldier, with his comrades, grew weary and afraid. By day, he read his Bible, and By night, he crouched and prayed. Verses read and memorized Brought peace and fears relieved; By Precious Blood, his fate secured The moment he believed. One night, the fight intensified, And he was left alone; Separated from his troops, Not knowing where they'd gone. In panic now, he bolted Deep into the trees, Praying to be reunited Before the enemy sees. Minutes turn to hours As night turns into day. Tired, now exhausted, He cannot find his way. He moves with caution to the front; His rifle at the ready. Nerves on edge, should need arise, He prays his aim will be steady. ...

I thought back to the soup kitchen, God was giving them food and a residence, I thought back to the handicapped boy, God was giving him peace and joy in his presence. I thought back to the little girl, God kept her safe and sound, I thought back to the loner, God was helping him become heaven-bound. If I look at the bad, that s all that I will I see, We must look at it through God s eyes, not through the eyes of you or me.

... goddess in my eyes so beautiful to see, Her skin is smooth and lovely it's as soft as it can be. I sit and think about her now my mind is racing fast, Thinking of the times I've touched her, thinking of the past. I ran my fingers through her hair and smelled the sweetest scent, I looked into her lovely eyes so deep with sentiment. I let her hold me close to her, my head upon her breast, The peace I felt while in her arms meant more than all the rest. I felt so close and understood what she was thinking of, Conveyed within her gentle touch I felt a total love. No words could have conveyed it as she gently stroked my hair, And words could not describe the love that was exchanging there. To have this love is very precious, lovers understand, It happens when you least expect it, there is not a plan. To find a love ...

For when I need your power, I will have the strength to cope. Talk to me about this beautiful country and about the man soon to lead.

Blossoms large and attractive, On slender, sturdy limbs, Home to the robins and the bluebirds, As they sing their sweet hymns. Beneath a peaceful blue sky, Drift fluffy clouds of white, And the sun sends golden rays, To keep the day warm and bright. Spring has it's surprises, From violets and daffodils, To the rolling thunder, Over cloudy, rain-washed hills. Farmers till their barren fields, And plant their corn and wheat, While the Lilacs bloom again, That only God can create. Oooh! The joys of springtime! Oooh! The love He so freely shares, With all His thankful children, When we show Him that we care. When I see the beauty, Of Lilacs blooming in the spring, I see behind the dark clouds, And my ...

I prayed that He would let you know, That He will never let you go. That He'd pour blessings down on you, And make your grey skies turn to blue. I prayed that God would give you rest, And that He'd answer your request. I asked the Lord to touch your soul, Fill you with hope and make you whole.

What once were subtle nuances that I sought to ignore, now are poignant messages of all He has in store. For many years, His whispered cues fell on my deaf ears; but when I learned to listen, He conquered all my fears. I've come to seek Him everywhere in sunshine and in rain.

... My Favorite Poet My favorite poet is God above Who gives Earth its rhythm and rhyme. Not pied pipers of misguided souls Who promote distrust, hatred and crime. Poetry is nature serenading in song The peaceful roar of the oceans waves. The wind through the trees and over the hills And the flowers in the fields by the graves. The sound of rain as it waters the thirsty The songs of children at play in the park. The far off rumble of trains or thunder As they pass through the night in the dark. The joy of our babies first words and steps The passion of life with its heroes and clowns. The on going struggle to survive our sins As we proliferate in hamlets and towns. My favorite poet is our Father of love Who was first to know us before birth. His poetry prolongs every thing we love As His deliverance gives life its worth.~Tom Zart~Soldier For The Lord [by: ...

... My Love Is Forever When I was young I thought I would never feel afraid. When I grew older I thought I would never find peace. Sometimes life teaches me the things that I already thought I knew. I once asked the forgiveness of every star I saw. But there are no mistakes, only lessons. Life continues to be my teacher although sometimes I feel too weary to learn. Our journey will take us to somewhere we have never been. There're a hundred changes we can make, a thousand paths to take, And a million dreams. If we have hope, we are halfway to where we want to go. If we are hopeless, we are lost forever. Many will say our love holds no future. Many will decide our choices will bring despair. I know nothing of how to live but I can know many uncertain things. I give you my heart, I tell you my dreams. I kiss ...

... God's Light A life of problems I felt bound Often struggling I'd be found I sought a peace to rest my mind And leave these troubles far behind My life I'll change today I vow I'll live my life so I'll be proud For though I'm down I am not through And giving-ups too easy-I won't do I'll live life right through heart's desire And my old ways I will retire It's easy targets Satan seeks And no longer shall I be weak To help me get through each day I'll take more time for God and pray As with this poem I'll send a prayer And ask for me that He be there That He forgive when I've done wrong And He helps me to keep faith strong I will do my best to be prepared So when final breathes can not be spared May each day I live I do what's right By living life within God's light [by Tom Quintana, Copyright 1998-from 'TPS '] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights ...
... God Hath Not Promised God hath not promised skies always blue Flower strewn pathways, all our lives through; God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labour, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing kindness, undying love. God hath not promised we shall not know Toil and temptations, trouble and woe; He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labour, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing kindness, undying love. God hath not promised smooth roads and wide, Swift, easy travel, needing no guide; Never a mountain, rocky and steep, Never a river turbid and deep. But God hath promised strength for the day, ...

God continues to keep watch over us too, He knows if we stumble or go astray; He is always willing to forgive if we ask, There's power when we're on our knees to pray. As we enjoy another evening's sunset, Pause to think back for a moment on the day; Forgive to be forgiven before the sun goes down, Then there will be peace in the heart to stay. Be thankful and give praise to God, He has given blessings and favors again today; As we come to the busy day's closure, Don't forget~don't ever forget to pray.~Leona I.

... thank You enough, For all You've done for me. You blessed me in so many ways, And some I've yet to see. All I possess has come from You. And You continue to bless me each day. It seems the closer I get to You, More blessings come my way. Some blessings that You give me, Outwardly are not perceived. But these are much more valuable, Than others I have received. When I am blessed with inner peace, And joy permeates my soul, When I can live with a future hope, I treasure these more than gold. You never withheld Your blessings, The times I went astray. You always continued to bless me, Though I was in sin and far away. You had to get my attention, When I was being so unwise. The fiery trials You put me through, Were just blessings in disguise. Thank You for Your compassion, And Your willingness to forgive ...

When I came to God s attention, My life was filled with mistakes and discord, His justice couldn t dismiss my sin, But His mercy was my reward. When He sacrificed His only Son, The gates of hell to me were closed. Instead heaven ...
